EDGE Group’s activity in Brazil
Recently, on 28 August, EDGE strengthened its ties with the Sao Paulo state government as a way of “paving the way for significant growth.”
The Group met with government officials – all of whom pledged their support for EDGE’s plans to grow in the region through partnership, knowledge exchange, Research & Development, co-operation, and the co-development of advanced solutions across the aerospace, smart weapons, unmanned and autonomous platforms, and naval domains.
Lucas Ferraz International Affairs Secretary of the Sao Paulo state government explained the enormity of EDGE’s investment in this region alone: “The sheer pace of advancement, particularly here in the state of Sao Paulo, has enabled us to become the continent’s leading centre of aerospace manufacturing.”
